SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Workforce Transition Act (WTA).  Provides that certain appointees shall be covered under the Act regardless of years of service prior to appointment.  Under the bill every gubernatorial appointee and other persons appointed by other appointing authorities who are eligible for benefits under the Act must annually sign a statement providing that such person has read and understands the benefits for which he is eligible under the Act.  The Secretary for the Commonwealth would retain the statements in its records.  The bill also restricts severance benefits for state employees to those specifically provided by law, except officers or faculty of public institutions of higher education and a state officer or employee not eligible for transitional severance benefits under the WTA.  Finally, the bill provides that it shall not be construed to prohibit payments for settlement of an employment dispute or payments in satisfaction of a judgment.
